Pico de Gallo (Fresh Salsa) image

Homemade pico de gallo is the best! This simple salsa recipe is made with chopped fresh tomatoes, chili peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime. Eat it fresh with tortilla chips!

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Appetizer     Quick and Easy     Restaurant Favorite     Salsa     Salsa

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 to 3 medium-sized fresh tomatoes (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), stems removed
1/2 red onion
2 serrano or 1 jalapeño pepper, stems, ribs, and seeds removed (less or more to taste)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch dried oregano (crumble in your fingers before adding), or more to taste
Pinch ground cumin, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Prep the ingredients: Roughly chop the tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. Be careful while handling the chili peppers. Use a plastic baggie or disposable gloves to handle them, or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
  • Make the salsa: Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade. Pulse only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients and not enough to purée. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand.
  • Adjust seasonings: Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chilis make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If it's not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilis, or add a little more ground cumin. If you like, let the salsa sit for an hour (room temperature or chilled) for the flavors to combine.
  • Serve: Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas , or pinto or black beans. The salsa will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
